[@heisenberg970]

judging by the looks of the violin players, it seems only horn players can understand how goddamn hard this piece is, and how well he is playing it

[@bensilverman9105]

This horn player is the real deal! What a sound!

[@BruceBoschek]

I grew up listening to Denis Brain and Barry Tuckwell. It is a thrill to hear Mr. Baborák reach the level of those great artists of the past. What a magnificent performance of Glière's most well-known work. Thank you for sharing this.

[@harryhagan5937]

And Dale Clevenger.

[@somebody9033]

Interesting you compare Baborak with Brain and Tuckwell. Of course, each of them is an absolute genius of the horn, but Baborak comes from an extremely different background in terms of playing style to Brain and Tuckwell.

[@pedrobotelhovieira9203]

@@somebody9033 Please listen, in this piece and many others, to horn player Abel Pereira (currently at NSO-Washinton and previously at the Berliner Philarmoniker and the London Philharmonic). He is at the level, if not even a higher level, of the horn players mentioned here.

[@TimothyReeves]

My favorite horn concerto, I have listened to the recording with Hermann Baumann so many times. This is also a superb performance. I especially enjoyed the cadenza (with multiphonics!) because it was so different from the Polekh cadenza I’m used to, not that it isn’t also great. Thank you for uploading it.

Whoua!!! quel phrasé sublime bravissimo Radek

[@0hn0haha]

I love how at around 57 seconds you can see one of the violinists probably lose his spot, he comes in ok but just in the nick of time, and the pretty violinist behind him kinda cracks up a little. As a fellow musician, I feel your pain, your relief, and had a little laugh at that. Great playing!

Baborak is such a good player, and handsome as well! His stocky build is perfect for his breath and stability.

[@jmbechtel]

A great player, so I mean no shade with this following question: how common is it for the soloist to have sheet music in front of them?

[@rilke1791]

Not too common. He doesn't seem to be paying it much mind anyway but it just comes down to if the soloist has it memorized. Typically it is memorized as to remove distractions and bring the attention to the performer. It's just an aesthetic thing meant to draw you to the performer more. Nothing wrong with some visual aid occasionally!

[@flo_ayala]

Usually international soloists won't have the sheet music, but it's not that unusual. What's important in my opinion is if the music reaches the audience.

[@Icedmanta]

@@rilke1791 The grand majority of soloists performing concertos with a full orchestra will have the music memorized - not due to specific effort, but the amount of practice required to get in that position will have memorization as a byproduct. To get it this sublime, with this detailed of an interpretation? He had it memorized long ago.

[@gon9684]

@@Icedmanta Not necessarily, not that simple, you really don't have to practice Gliere that much to sound like him, Brass is 99% about the fundamentals, if you can play a single note that sounds like him you are an excellent player, I can easily go to the piano and sound like whoever you want if it's all about a single note. Baborak could probably sightread some horn concertos, the main reason he shouldn't is because that's risky and because you have to understand to interpret the music. People should do whatever they prefer as long as performance is good

[@cmw12]

That is odd, now that you mention it. Still an outstanding performance.

[@paulerickson5804]

Cool cadenza, but like so many (including the Valery Polekh cadenza) it makes little musical sense.

[@user-ug1jw3km5g]

Well played, but not in the original style nor even all the actual notes & chords, changed for the cadenza in an odd way...why?

[@jaydee8872]

Because music is a living thing and can be interpreted many different ways...especially by a virtuoso of Radek's caliber.

[@jerelull9629]

Radek's an at least adequate hornist, but there are only a few short melodic lines that don't contribute to anything else. And a few excursions into the Lower register. Other than that, it's a pretty lackluster piece.

[@sergiohurtadocastejon1264]
